DIY: Make A Sunflower Wreath In 5 Easy Steps

The calendar may say it’s summer but I’m currently pining for Fall. Since it’s too early to put a Fall wreath on my front door, I’m settling for a happy medium.

Sunflowers.

Here in central Virginia, sunflowers usually bloom between July and August. There’s nothing prettier than a field of sunflowers. It’s almost as if they’re the official “farewell to summer” flower.

If you’ve ever seen a sunflower field then you know that a blowing summer breeze can make a sunflower field dance. They sway back and forth in unison like a perfectly choreographed dance troupe.

You never thought of it that way before, have you? 😉

And have you ever noticed that the heads of sunflowers always seem to be facing the sun? This behavior, known as phototropism, is what makes certain flowers turn toward the sun.

We should all dance in the breeze and put our faces towards the sun more often.

You can learn a lot of things from the flowers. —Alice in Wonderland

When you combine the sunflower’s beauty with it’s unique characteristics, it’s no wonder that it has come to symbolize adoration, loyalty, and longevity.

I’m all for longevity with a bunch of loyal and a dash of adoration so let’s get busy and add some sunflowers to our front door!
